so hard…!!!!!!!!!i i reckon you would plot it 6 7 months agooooo…
I have plotted several wedding to help friends and the best way to keep the cost down is to check every store for after valentines specials. You can also continue looking throughout the year for the different items you need. One of the last things you want to buy is your wedding dress check out davidsbridal.com for that. They have sales a lot normally around this time of year. Also, start calling places now to reserve the place for your wedding/reception as you may get a better deal, talk to people there and try to see when you could book it to get a discount. A lot of places will work with you if you talk to them. A lot of people spend way too much time plotting weddings just because they are so excited about it. Just remember to relax and when you are out checking for sales on things have your list of what you need and make sure your not overdoing it just because it is on sale or you will end up with way too much of some types of things and nothing of other types. excellent luck, have fun and congrats..
You didn’t say where you lived. In the northeast U.S we have Michael’s craft stores and Christmas Tree shops. I own a country club and handle all of the wedding plotting and have seen many nice decorations from these stores.
let Thuggy J be yo wedding planna. i be an ekspert planna wit lotsa xpurience, fo rillz.
Kmart, Walmart, Target, Cost Plus World Market, Pier 1, Michaels, Leisure activity Lobby, party stores, and searching the Internet are about the best places to shop for decor. Maybe do a jar of those red cinnamon hearts placed on a bed of yellow rose petals for a centerpiece. For discounted invitations and gifts and free plotting worksheets, you can go to www.abcustom.com. In their plotting tools they have budget worksheets that might help.
